Belmar Construction in New York told FOX 46 Charlotte they own Lake Arbor. Belmar also told FOX 46 that Broad Management handles the property. Both hung up on our phone calls when pressed for answers.

Lake Arbor's resident manager, Lori Walker, was represented by an attorney in environmental court on Tuesday. The City of Charlotte said Walker had failed to comply with at least 15 different code enforcement violations -- after being given ample time to do so.

Some of those corrections have been made and Walker was granted a 30-day extension on others.

That being said, the court appearance had everything to do with past violations -- that is, before FOX 46 began investigating in late July. Since then, dozens of complaints have rolled in.

Duke Power was forced to shut off power in a number of building on the property due to exposed wiring and the United States Postal Service has discontinued mail because of the poor conditions of the mail boxes.

Residents have to drive 15 minutes away to pick up their mail at a post office at 4800 Express Dr. near the airport, Monday through Saturday, between noon and 3 p.m.
